CDR or CDRW Disks

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Oh yes, one other thing that I forgot to mention. There are 74 and 80 minute 
CD's. If I'm not mistaken the 700 MB discs can hold 80 minutes of audio, and 
the 650 MB can hold 74 minutes. Also, that comment I made in my previous 
message about some drives not being able to read the 700 MB models holds 
true for audio players. Not all of them can play the 80 minute audio discs. 
I have yet to find a CD player that won't, but...
